Shima’s latest technology on display in Turkey

Shima Seiki, a leading flat knitting machine manufacturer of Wakayama, will participate in a private exhibition to be held by its Turkish sales representative Tetas Ic Ve Dis Ticaret A.S. at its showroom in Istanbul, Turkey, in October.

At the core of Shima Seiki’s Total Fashion System, APEX3 is capable of realistic simulation that allows for virtual sampling, minimising the need for costly, time- and resource-consuming sample-making in a variety of industries such as circular knitting, flat knitting, weaving, pile weaving and printing.

“Also on show is the SIP digital textile inkjet printing machine that opens up a whole new world of on-demand fashion through direct-to-garment production, promoting customisation and sustainability,” the company reports.

A wide variety of knitted samples not limited to knit fashion items will be exhibited, such as sportswear and outdoor gear, technical textiles, denim-like garments, kidswear, home textiles, 2D and 3D shoe uppers, formal wear, one-piece dresses, accessories and more.
